The Viceroy ordered these Bailiwicks to 13;- occupied by an tia- Ilan division, under the command of Genetal Fo 'tanelli. In 'one of these Bailiwicks, that of Mendirti,), which is contiguous to Milan and the detouchd of the plain, it is said a great quantity of Colonial pro produce, and Briti.,h merchandize was seized." BANKS, OF THE NECKER, Nov. 4.—The King of Wurtemherghas given orders, that all British ma tinfattmes toui.d in his dominions shall be burned, as well as-those that may be imported hereafter.-- Yesterday the English manufactures seized at Sluggard were publicly burned at_ some distance from the town, in the presence of an immense con- Cour , ,e of people. PARIS, Nov. 10.—The Princess Royal of Sweden set out from Paris yesterday morning, with the Prince her son, on her way to Stockholm. DARTZIC, OCT. 25.—This city having fully ac ceded to the continental system, has given orders that every vessel entering this port with a cargo of Colonial produce siiall be sent back without exami nation. Articles of medicine and merchandize un der French' licenses are exempted from this regula tion:" PARIS, Nov. o.—The following are some parti culars of the Baptismal Ceremony that took place on Sunday, the 4th instant, at the Palace of Fontaine bl,eau : Workmen had been employed for several days in preparing the Imperial Chapel. The choir and the nave were resevved for the Court; the gallery where their Majesties generally sit, the balconies and the lateral chapels, were destined for the numerous srectators who were favoured with admittance to this cetemony. One of these chapels was assigned to the nurses and governesses of the children to be baptized. All the interior was magnificently decorated. At half-past I t their Majesties appeared, preceded by the Heralds at arms, and accompanied by the Princes ; Grand Dignitaries, 'he Ministers, the Mar shals dole Empire, the Diplomatic ilody, and the whole Court in great state. A number of Generals, state Counsellors, and other persons of distinCtion, added to the assemblage. The Emperor and Ern iyeks placed themselves upon a' throne raised in the sanctuary, over which was a canopy pompously de. corated. The ricl , ness, ti.e brilliancy, and the variety of the dre s ses, dazzled the eyes. IA ►►ew feeling as ad&d to these im e .ressions, when 23 young mo thers were seen to appear, holding their children in their arms, and accompanied by a long train of fol lowers. A box was prepared for the painter, from which he night seize the whole of the scene. His Eminence Cardinal Fesch went through the ceremony, surround , d by a numerous train of other prelates. The richnes and dignity of the pontifical ornaments produced a striking contrast with the light drapery of t he tatualeso.vho presented the children for baptism. As each 01 the children was successively brought into the church, it was carried to their Ma jesties, who recittcl the customary prayers, and pro nounced for it the sacred engageibents. His Emi nence then administered the rite of baptism. A new mass by M. Lessueur was performed ; the music was worthy of the talents of the Composer, and of the touching ceremony for which it was composed. It was remarked, that during whole of tuass the Fuperor h:td beside him the young Grand Duke of Berg. We are assured, that the yete was cloSed, in the interior of the Palace, by the presents which the illustrious godmother presented to the parents of her god-children, with a most enchanting grace and affecting kindness.

This morning he is quite as well as he was yesterday." (Signed as above.) We received this morning the following lette r from Charleston, dated Oa. 8, 1810. :—I take the first opportunity 'to relieve you from :he anxiety I know you will feel for my safety on hearing of the, dreadful calamity Which has befallen this city. Just after twelve, this morning, a lire hroke out near. the old Episeop,a Church, and has raged with un_ abated fury until half au hour ago (i t o'clock), during which time 44 immense number of houses have been destroyed; say nearly the whole square from, Church-street eastwardly to the Bay, and northward ly from Broad-street to the Market ; besides some houses in other parts of the town caught by the flakes of fire from the burning houses:The number of houses destroyed may be as much as five hundred.' There are reports in town (founded upon a letter of the 31st ult. from Oporto), that the FrenCh had been repulsed in two attempts to crosse the Zezere. No particulars are mentioned, nor is the date given ; we are therefore left entirely in the dark with regard to what part of the enemy's force it was that has been thus repulsed. Govetnment have not re- ceived any accounts upon the subject, nor do any of the letters from Lisbon of as late a date as the 3d inst. mention it. The Public Prints have abounded in reports re specting His MAJESTY'S indisposition, some of which are too absurd for notice, considering tha t the Nation has every day the conscientious de claration of Physic ans, whose integrity as well as knowledge entitle them to the fullest con fidence. Among other rumours, which *ere wholly without foundation, was . one which stated, that the Earl of CHESTERFIELD had an interview with HIS MAJESTY. The loyalty and personal at-tact ment of that Nobleman to His MAJESTY are wel , known, and whatever anxiety be might feel on the occasion, he would not have thought of pressii.g for an interview, in the present circumstances, even it it were proper to comply with such a wish. it is now stated, that His MAJESTY has employed him self for several hours in settling the affairs of the Princess AMELIA. That HIS MAJESTY is able to do so, except that such a duty would be too great a trial of his feelings at the present moment, we are fully disposed to believe, because we are assured, from authority on which we rely, that His MA JESTY, signified by a Message to the QUEEN, that he was aware of the loss of his amiable Daughter, as well as of the mournful ceremony of her interment,, and that he trusted he should be fully resigned to the Divine will on the melancholy occasion. Letters and Papers have been received from Cadiz of as late a date as the sth inst. The Cortes are proceeding in their labours with great vigour, and we trust that the result will be' beneficial to the country. The Regency has been ah dished, and in the room of it an Executive Power has been ap pointed, consisting of three persons, viz. DON PEDRO AGAR, President ; Gen. BLAKE, and DoN GABRIEL CISCAR. There are also two supple mentary members appointed to supply the places of the former, in case of indisposition. The talents and patriotism of General BLAKE are well known ; the other two are Naval.Gificers, and have a high character for integrity and business.— The Cortes have also decreed the Freedom of the Press throughout Spain, with the exception that works upon religious subjects are to- be submitted to a Censor. Another important measure which the Cortes have adopte4 is, that of placing 'the in habitants of the colonies upon a .footing in every respect as favourable as those of the mother coun try; and they have also passed a decree for a levy en masse of every man between it and 40, to be' im mediately employed in active service. We cannot contemplate these energetic measures' without ipdulging a hope that the Spanish Govern ment will for the future display a , vigour, propor tioned to the awful contest in which it is engaged. The People of Spain have in every instance done their duty ; they have displayed unexampled he roism; and if their exertions are encouraged and guided by an aaive and intelligent Government, they must be ultimately successful. Paris Papers to the 13th inst. reached to Nn yester day. They are silent respeating the state of the war in Spain and Portugal, and are indeed in general barren of intelligence. The French papers have not of late contained the details of any operations ex cept those 'of the Custom-house Officers against English merchandize. We have received The Sydney (New South Wales) Gazettes, to the latter end of Fkinruary last, winch contain an account of the total defeat of POMAREf, at Otaheite, and his consequent loss of the Sove reignty of that Island. We shall give the particulars to-morrow. Saturday morning the Dukes of VORK, CIJAIBER LAND, and MONTROSE, Earl of LIVERPOOL, and Viscount CATHCART, arrived at Windsor C;►sile.— The Duke of MONTROSE, Earl of LIVERPooL, and Viscount CATHCART, left Windsor in the af ternoon. Every effort is to be made to reinforce Lord WEL LINGTON, by sending severpl more battalions from this country and Ireland. Every .regiment of the line has been detached from Cadiz, and only the Foot Guards remai❑ in garrison there. Several re giments have also been sent from Sicily, None of the Royal Family attended at Sr. George; Chapel, Windsor, yesterday ; but Divine Service was performed to them in Windsor Castle. A private letter from Lisbon, of the 4th instant, brought by the Walsingam packet, states, that the position 'of the hostile armies in Portugal continued the same, and that up to that date nothing had oc curred. The means by which NASSENA '.upported his torces,•surrounded as he was on every side, ex cited no ordinary degree of surprise in the British army .; and it was confidently asserted, that if he could even procure boats to convey troops across the Tagus, the opposite bank presents such a formidable line of artillery, that his destru&ion would be almost inevitable. After stating that the rainy season had commenced, the writer concludes by asserting, that the whole depot of supplies at Figuiera were shipped away, and the stores at Thomar, not removable, were burnt and destroyed, before the French en tered it. Letters arrived on Saturday morning from. Ham burgh, to the 7th !mt. The public officers were sloWly and relucianty carrying into execution the edia for burniiig British pods. The trading com mission established at Frankfort, consists of the fol lowing persons :—General FRIANT r (Commander of the French garrison), Gen. FREDERIC, Mr. COLAS.- sox, Diredor of the Customs at Mayenee; a Colonel of Gens d'Artnes, two Lieut.-Colonels and some indi , iduals sent from Paris. Such,"'says our Correspondent, are the characters appointed for the professed purpose of granting in dulgences to German citizens. We have much satisfattion in stating the arrival of, the Donegal, of 74 guns, Capt. MAncocm 5 and Revenge, of 74 guns, Capt. N.ASII, 011 Saturday morning, from off Cherbourg, after having, in conjuth . non with the Diana, of . 38; Capt. GRANT, anl , Ni4e, Crot..LoatNo, of the same force, driven on shore two French frigates, which escaped out of i lay re, and which, it they may not be totally de snored (as is extremely - probable), are rendered of no further service. On Monday tight last, during the gale, they sail'd from Havre, well the intention of teaching Cherbourg, that port affording facilities of escape which Havre does not. The Diana and Nide bring frigates (notwithstanding the very un favourable state of the weather) close on their sta tion, got sight of them soon after midnight and chased .them ; but the wind slnfting more to the Northward, they were enabled, alter receiving se veral broadsides, to take shelter under Marc'ou. They weighed from thence the following day, and the tides preventing .our frigates from ap proaching them, they, that evening, contrived to reach the anchorage of La Hogue. Finding, however, that our frigates intended to attack them on' Wedoesday, one of them ran on the .rocks of St Vast, where she lies on her beam ends. The other ran into the shoal of St. Vast, be tween the batteries of La Hogue and Tatihou. On Wednesday .afternoon, the Donegal and Re venge, two ships of ie line, joined, and Means . were immediately tntien to attack 'the frigate that anchored in the shoal : it was impossible to reach the other; indeed her loss seemed certain.—. Accordingly, the whole of the ships (choosing the most favourable time of tide) stood. as close in as they possibly could, and fired their broadsides at her three several times. On the same night our ships again stood' in, and threw rockets at her. On Thursday morning it was discovered that the objet of their attack had also run aground near to her consort ; and both frigates were left on their beam ends by the Donegal and Revenge on that day, watched by the Diana and IViobe. Unless they arc got off, repaired, and make their escape from their present situation, before an easterly wind sets in (and this seems impossible), they will be totally lost. As every effort was made that skill and gal lantry could suggest to effect their destruction, it must be expeaed that our ships have sustained some loss and damage. They sustained the tire of the batteries of La Hogue and Tatihou; and that of the etsetny's ships, for a considerable time ; during which the Donegal had three men wounded, the Revenge seven.wounded (two of them since dead), and the Diana and Nide had each three men wounded. The names of the frigates are L'Ainazon and L'Elize, of 44 guns each. ° Our ships suffered most in their masts and rigging. One unfortunate shot (a 42-pounder) entered the lower deck of the Revenge, and actually took oft five legs from three men, and wounded four others. The two poor fellows who lost both their legs are since dead. It is 10 be regretted that circumstances prevented the Diana and Aide from blinging the frigates to ac tion on the night they escaped, as the excellent state of discipline of those ships, and the high characters of Captains GRANT and LORING, forbid us to enter tain a doubt hut the result would have been such as could be wished. It would also have been a subject of more exultation, if the dangerous situation of the coast, and the unfavourableness of the weather, had not prevented the Officers and crews of the ships, by their united efforts, from witnessing their total destruCtion.—The Donegal and Revenge left the enemy's ships at Cherbourg, with their yards and topmasts struck. They were to sail again yesterday to resume their station. Senor AGAR, now one of the Spanish Regency, has long attracted universal respect, and CISNAR in the first stage of the patriotic insurrection, was ad vantageously known as the Governor of Crrthagena. He has lately been at the head of the establishment tor the instrudion of youth in naval tactics. From this change, and others that are expeded, a radical change of system is supposed to be in contempla tion. The Governors of St. Bartholomew's Hospital,have cornett° a determination, that tie premises recently burnt duwn in the Cloisters shall not be rebuilt, and I hat as soon as the leases of the other houses in the Cloisters are expired, they shall be taken down. This is cpnceived not only as a proper and necessary precaution to prevent any danger to the hospital by fire, but likewise a salutary improvement, tending to afford a more free circulation of air. It, is ascertained that 84 persons perished by the oversetting of the Canal boat at Paisley, of whom 18 were below ten years of :age, 49 from teu to twenty, and 17 above twenty )e,us °rage.
